The Design
About Dijlah Village Complexo
Situado no corazón de Bagdad, en Iraq, o complexo de Dijlah Village, coa súa área de 12.000 metros cadrados, está deseñado como un complexo comercial de uso mixto para responder ás necesidades relevantes do crecente barrio. Para responder ás solicitudes do mercado, incluíronse unha área de fitness, un spa e unha piscina interior. O proceso de deseño desenvolveuse ao redor da idea de mesturar o modernismo europeo co orientalismo como contraste. Na síntese resultante, concluíuse un produto que responde á busca de Bagdad.
